As the Australian summer moves into its later stages, we get lots of trouble with static from thunderstorms, wind, etc. On a bad night, I can draw a spark a couple of inches long off the end of my in

With recent experiments using separate Rx antennas on 160m, my attention was drawn to the facilities on my FT1000MP for using/switching such an antenna. What I found was that the description of this

Strange conditions and a strange contest. This year, the CQ 160 had to be fitted around various Australia Day weekend activities - a street party, participation in a car boot sale and a typical Aussi

Date: Wed, 28 Jan 1998 22:17:17 +0800
Just a few thoughts from someone who is a long way from anywhere else - close to Perth, the most isolated capital city in the world. I think the DX window in the contest is a great idea - it helped m

Author: sire@omen.com.au (Steve Ireland)
Date: Tue, 2 Dec 1997 17:58:53 +0800
It was a funny kind of contest for me - and the 160m conditions in VK6 were even stranger. My wife Deb gave birth to our second child, Samuel Joseph, on the Thursday before CQ WW. This meant that any

While those good conditions have been happening in the northern half of the world, on the whole it has been somewhat noisy and dead down under on 160m since the CQ WW CW. Conditions during the ARRL 1

Solstices are always interesting times of the year - pagan dancing, crop circles appearing and the whiff of the old magic. Fittingly, sometimes topband opens in a really twisted mystic way... This ye

Please, are there any VK 160m operators who have managed to get hold of Slinkys locally, and if so, where? The Toys R Us store in Perth says it doesn't keep them. There is nothing so frustrating as a

For those Australian 160m fans who would like to build a Slinky beverage, the following may be helpful. It seems that Slinky are sold in Australia in games rather than toy shops. I bought my Slinky O

Just some 'food for thought' for those out there using 160m dipoles fed with open wire so they can use the antennas on the other low bands. Until recently, I used a similar arrangement until I finall

I had just got on the band about 10 minutes before my sunrise when I heard a station called 'QRL?' on 1826. The next thing I knew, the station identified as 5B4ADA - a new country - but was calling Q
